After a great disturbance in British politics following the EU referendum, Theresa May, a conservative politician, has become Britain’s second female prime minister on Wednesday. May has big shoes to fill and will attract comparisons with Margret Thatcher. Just as one would expect her husband Philip May will be compared to Sir Denis Thatcher. Mr May has been a rock for his wife and has taken the backseat to Theresa’s high political spotlight.
Theresa May has served as home secretary for six years, the longest politician to hold that post in the country’s recent history. May is also a conservative politician who led the country from 1979 until 1990. In her first speech as prime minister, he promised to fight against the “burning injustice”, the citing difficulties of young white working class men in attending university, black Britain’s when they need to use the criminal justice system, women in the workplace and young people who hope to own their own homes. She says that “David Cameron’s true legacy is not about the economy but about social injustice.” In that spirit she also plans to lead.
Her appointment comes after weeks of uncertainty of millions of Britain’s who went against her advice and that of Cameron and voted to leave the European Union. Having failed to convince the people of Britain to vote to remain in the EU, Cameron resigned, opening the way for Theresa May who was a home secretary till Wednesday for a brief leadership contest. On Wednesday May accepted an invitation from Queen Elizabeth to form a new government just minutes after David Cameron, had resigned. In this surprise move May named Boris Johnson, former London mayor and prominent figure in the victorious Brexit campaign. Johnson’s role in Britain’s negotiations will be limited because May is expected to create a new ministerial post focused exclusively on the Brexit issues.
His advice regarding the European Union was, “to be close to the EU as we can be for benefits of cooperation, trade and security. It is the relationship we should seek.”
